Graphic Strip Charts
A graphic history of instrument functions, graphed stripcharts are an invaluable tactical tool on the race course and are often used for performance and
tactical evaluation. Ockam offers strip charts (plots of instrument functions versus time) with it’s associated numeric and average values, 4 (Wind Direction, Wind Speed, Current set,
Current Drift) at the Matryx Display and any available function on the Ockam system, at your PC via the Ockam soft 3 or at the ESP on-board computer. |
|
OckamSoft 4 For the onboard PC, is an instrument display and control application that operates under Windows, but is a more sophisticated package than most single
function onboard programs you may have used in the past. It is a suite of 7 programs that greatly expands and enhances the capabilities of the Ockam instrument system.
